I ended up purchasing the same card storage box that you're using for spare drills! I needed a big box for my squares. It is so much better than the storage system I had before. Thank you so much!
@@danielleharrison2216 Yay!! I’m so glad you found the suggestion useful! I’m excited to see how long it takes before I need another box. I don’t think it will be for a while! ♥️
I love the discussion about budget projects vs premium projects. I encourage folks to calculate the price per sq cm. Premium kits are truly not that much more, although paintings are larger so a higher price tag-but then you consider the preeeeemium fantastic drills, the speciality drills included, the hand rendering, the quality toolkit, the points earned, the lifetime warranty….there’s just no comparison. Square cm per square cm, premium companies are a better deal/better value. ❤️❤️
I can only do one diamond painting at a time. It would stress me out having more than one wip. Absolutely love the idea of a destash swap. I am definitely on a no buy. I am currently trying to get through some of my stash. Thank you so much for a wonderful video. 💖
You and me both! I might be ok with a big and a snack size for travel going at once, but definitely not two bigs. I don’t have the table space! Thank you for watching ♥️
I love watching stash videos too, it’s interesting to me to hear why they like a painting or what in particular they notice about a painting because it’s usually something I would have never noticed myself. Great video and congratulations on a 1000💕
Omg i love you videos. I was beyond excited for the LOTR kits even though I had to wishlist them due to funds at the moment. I would love to see rivendale, helms deep, or if they did the shire, bring on anything the hobbit or LOTR. Your lego kits of LOTR are so freakin cool. The eye of Solomon must have taken for ever. ❤
I am obsessed with the Lord of the Rings kits too! They are so cool. I’m dyyyying for them to release some LOTR landscapes!!! I would love to put a Mordor diamond painting behind my Barad Dur tower! I want the shire, Rivendell, Helms Deep, THE BEACONS OF MINAS TIRITH!!! I could go on and on 😂🤓♥️
I am definitely a mono-WIPer for DPs. I have too many other hobbies to have more than one DP going at a time. Also, not enough surfaces in my home. Lol 😂
Agreed, I think you can get some budget friendly kits that do not use stolen art. I just saw some DD kits at Walmart yesterday for 10 dollars. Lots of times I see some Make Market kits on sale that are pretty nice. Amazon also has some very reasonable kits. I get it, I am fortunate to be in a place where I can buy premium kits, but it can certainly be done on a budget as well. I personally like stash videos. I dont think its bragging, and I like to see what other people are buying. It gives me ideas (like I need more of those). I have traditionally been a one WIP at a time kind of girl. However in the past month I have a couple of different projects going on so its new for me. Thanks for the video, I will be glad to see this one done
You're totally right about finding budget friendly kits! And YES, stash videos are the best. 😂♥️ Also - diamond painters with ideas are sooooo dangerous! ♥️😈
I have so many kits going that I've lost count😂. I'm currently trying to get some of them done. I won't let myself kit up another project until I've at least finished two of my wips. It's helping. I am so looking forward to black friday. I'm hoping for at least one Christopher Lovell painting.
I like to do smaller kits like Paint Gem, DAC Mini Dazzles, or Make Market kits in between my larger ones. Plus, I have a few small Disney kits from Amazon too that work up quickly. It's nice to have the satisfaction of getting a kit done quickly rather than over many weeks. Also, if DAC ever did a collab with the lifestyle brand Tokidoki I'd buy every stinkin' kit they made!! 🤩
@@messygirlcrafts Regarding Mono or Polly WIPer I only work on one big canvas at a time but I actually take small canvases to work with me and do them when I have free time. It's not every day but right now things are slow enough to get away with doing some!😂
I'm working on a Distracted by Diamonds kit now called Merry Mermaid. It's a biggie 83.5 x 62 cm. The sticky is great, and so far, the drills are great too. I have done several of their canvases without any problems. Enjoy the journey of diamond painting.
I was going through Temu for my DP. Today I made my first purchase from DAC. I am excited to receive it. I purchased island Seascape Sunrise. I am going to stick with DAC from now on. Love your videos by the way.
Wanna hear something crazy? My name is Ashley I also started diamond painting in July and DAC has completely taken over my life. My first kit was a make market kit too 🤣 DP twins 👯 Congrats on 1k subs!
How about a video about what you’ve learned about your taste has evolved 6 months after diamond painting? Your thoughts on themes, rounds vs squares, color blocking and confetti. What colors you like etc. I love stash videos too but I especially love completions!! So please do a year in review!
I'm new to d painting and have almost finished my first large canvas. I have just discovered a small area without glue, a friend has suggested PVA, do you think that will work? Thanks for the chats, I find you very entertaining.
Thank you so much for watching! I haven’t personally run into this issue yet but I’m sure it will happen eventually. I’ve heard that the Dotz Stick from Diamond Dotz is really good for that!
About the New releases; if it is Disney, then Star Wars and take my money. 😍 And I am usually working on customs, and buy only those which I want to see on the wall of my new home. These are epic size projects and they are about the drawings I received from my artist friends, or my artworks about my SW OC and ship. 😁 Aaaaand, my dear Lee Jung-jae 🫣🩷 Okay, anyway. I love your videos, love watching/listening to you while I am drawing or diamond painting ☺️
Stash videos are some of my fav videos to watch…… I’d be all over anything Care Bear but especially the vintages from the 1980s from DAC. I’ve bought one from Regan kubecek at dreamer designs and am waiting for Black Friday and the Canada post strike to be over to order some from Art and soul to try the brand out.
Hi there Ashley! I’m a poly WIP with 2 only because I have space to have 2 out at once (my fiance knows if I had more room I’d have more out lol) but I too work full time so only have so many. I’ve been on a low buy to no buy . If certain artists release pieces I will buy . Can’t wait to see what Black Friday has in store this year at DAC!
Hi friend! I’m totally with you on limiting how many I have going. If I could do this as my full time gig I would definitely have more going! I’m getting so antsy for Black Friday! I want to know what the deals and kits are so bad! 🫣♥️
@ messygirlcrafts same ! Well last year we can tell you they did 30 % off the whole site and had 100 new releases ( they were showing 20 a day ! For Sunday through Thursday. I believe the sale started at 9pm PST time. I can’t wait to see what art they have for us this year!
hey bestie ❤ I also love stash videos, I really like the variety of images and everyone's taste. As for companies, I dream of paintings from Art&soul, munimade, jollygem Shop, but in most cases the shipping costs are so astronomical that I want to cry. I think JollyGem sometimes has promotions for free shipping, but I'm not sure. And when it comes to art&soul, I heard that the person who has shares with them has been working with them for some time. I'd love to see a video about budget diamond painting. As for the paintings I would sell my soul for, it's anything related to Harry Potter. The DAC has beautiful images but the downside is that 90% of them have dark colors and I know myself and I know that I wouldn't feel completely happy working on it. Ps. I also want these two paintings from Mumimade, especially the second one. I thought he would be a perfect candidate for drills & chills next year. I love crafting with Shay Shaay. She is a wonderful person, so positive. 🥺❤
Yes to all of that!! Random question - are there any diamond painting shops where you are? I know some of the more popular small shops that I’ve heard of are UK based and a few in Australia.
@ I work in a monthly cycle. 4 large 4 small canvases normally. All completed by the end of each month. If I throw in specials I usually end up at 12-14 completions. Smashinthespecials happens 2 times a year. Those months I go all out and end up with about 25-30 completions. Also Kay’s bingo can push me into super high numbers of partials.
Regarding licensed vs non licensed we are beginners and as Canadians pay a premium for stuff so buying from Temu and Amazon seems to be our affordable options. Our retail stores do not have any options. Michaels in our region has very little. Now that being said we definitely want to get premium licensed products for special occasions i.e Christmas, birthday etc Love Lord of the Rings. Have quite a few Lego LOTR sets and love the brickhedz.😊
Yes! I’ve heard how absolutely insane shipping costs can be internationally! 😭💔 I’m going to try and do so research and put together something. I don’t think I’m going to single handedly solve the problem, but maybe I can help! Also, YAY LEGO FRIEND! ♥️💖🎉
I just want to warn you for the using your first diamond painting as a tray idea, I think it’s super cute BUT depending on the drill material, resin might make the facets seem to disappear, losing the diamond effect (I’ve made this mistake resin crafting with random beads and rhinestones😂) so you might want to sacrifice a few rows off the edge to test first! If resin doesn’t work, just fixing a clear acrylic board or thick sheet of vinyl on top might also give the desired effect? Sorry if I’m telling you stuff you already know, it’s just really sad when the sparklies un-sparkle😂 Anyway I just found your channel and I’ve been loving your wip and chats while I work from home! Back to watching the rest of this video now❤
I can only tolerate 1 diamond painting WIP at a time...because I always have a crochet project(s) going at the same time 😅 Does that still make me a poly-wipper? 😆I can't wait for all the black Friday sales! So far I haven't seen anything from DAC that I *have* to have, but the week is still young. There are a couple I've got my fingers crossed for, but we'll see. If not, that just gives me more money to spend with our small shops
Thank you for watching!!! I’m super happy that some of the small shops are posting their sales earlier this year. I’m shopping from them first and then I will make my DAC purchase at the end of the week. I’m sure I will get a few, I’ve been saving points 😈♥️
@@messygirlcrafts Yaaas! I'm excited to see the small shops posting their sales earlier this year too! Enablers Outpost announced their sale of 20% off pens & 25% off their kits so I've been stalking their socials for all their upcoming drops 😅
If DAC ever decided to license with the owners of Bob's Burgers 🍔 I would lose my dang mind. I adore that show! Alternatively, I would love to see some anime pieces from like Bleach, One Piece, Studio Ghilbli etc.
I once lovedddd dbd but the drills r always an issue the kits sometimes give an issue with the stickiness in certain spots and the customer service isn’t the best I’ve spent so much with them prior to actually working on a kit that the ones I have at this point sit and collect dust I hope u have a great experience and love working on it friend
Oh wow! How long ago was that? I’m curious, because there are some things I’m noticing on mine that I know have been changed for future releases based on what I’ve seen from other creator’s reviews. Do you remember if your canvas was a little older?
@ to be fair it’s been a bit since I’ve purchased as I bought large large amounts of it before even trying it out yea bad idea on my end so they would have def been older ones if I have them after trying out 2 I was done at that point lol they just gave me such a big issue both of them and I just stopped buying so it’s very possible they changed not sure
@ oh yes absolutely beautiful art work stunning stunning stuff just I’m very very picky and need it to be f perfect or I loose interest but I’m so so glad that ur enjoying it non the less
Ah! I will help! If you go to my playlists and click on the lives she and I did one together! That video is on her channel so you can find her right though that video ♥️
I only do special shaped partials from temu. The rendering isn’t as bad because you’re not diamond painting the entire canvas. I’m a newbie dp just started in March 24.. ( and my crazy self just committed to 100 partials in 2025
I framed my very first DAC kit, but I haven’t framed the others yet. Once I do my year end video to show off my competed kits I might hang some! Thank you for watching ♥️
There’s an evil delivery man that takes the packages and rubs them up and down on his nylon pants, thereby increasing the static inside the package. Muahahaha .😅
I’m just nervous about the extra bags with drills getting lost or falling out of the mesh part since it doesn’t have a closure. Maybe I can get a pencil case to store the rest….🤔
So far the rounds are working well since this kit didn’t come with individual cut stickers. I think I the square containers work better if you do get individual labels. I eventually want to try Elizabeth Ward containers too. A comparison will be fun!
Static happens because of science lol. I don't think it matters what colors. But it does have to do with environment & because you are putting plastic in/on plastic. The electrons have no where to go in a baggie.
I will say, I had less problems transferring the drills from the baggies to the containers than I did transferring the drills from those heat sealed pouches that DAC uses…🤔🤔🤔
I feel that someone charged me 260$ plus shipping tax ect for button eye I put off my light bill because I begged for them to go down a bit they refused that was the very last time I got a destash and prob will never again due to the ridiculous pricing of some folks
Oh that sucks, I’m so sorry! 😞 It’s wild out there. Exchanging money and goods with a stranger is always spooky for me. I don’t even buy off Facebook market place because I get too nervous! 😂♥️
@@messygirlcrafts oh believe me I did it once and never ever again that kit had a lot of sentimental value for me and it’s soooo hard to find as it’s the first of 3 ever mystery dac kits so to see it in opened blew my mind and I had like three other folks actually lie and say I can buy it and just stop replying so I just was done with it lol and jumped hoping it was real and it was just really expensive lol
Me again: I love Disney but I feel like the choices have been meh. I also don’t think it’s something I really want to Diamond paint. I liked the Harry Potter stuff. I would love something outlander themed. Or Broadway Playbills!!! I’d be dead.
My husband makes fun of me. He goes, "Are you diamond painting while watching diamond painting videos on youtube? Your obsessed." LOL
We are all in the same boat there!! 😂♥️
I do the same as well!? 🤣🤣

@ oh yes absolutely beautiful art work stunning stunning stuff just I’m very very picky and need it to be f perfect or I loose interest but I’m so so glad that ur enjoying it non the less
For the life of me, I can't find Courtney's channels 😮
Ah! I will help! If you go to my playlists and click on the lives she and I did one together! That video is on her channel so you can find her right though that video ♥️
I only do special shaped partials from temu. The rendering isn’t as bad because you’re not diamond painting the entire canvas.
I’m a newbie dp just started in March 24.. ( and my crazy self just committed to 100 partials in 2025
YOU GO MAMA! 100?! *faints* 😂♥️
I am a poly-WIPer with a max. If I have toooo many going on, I’ll get overwhelmed and not do any.
I can see it getting overwhelming fast for sure. I think I can manage a snack size and a big one at the same time but that’s about it, lol!
Do you frame your picture when you are done ?
I framed my very first DAC kit, but I haven’t framed the others yet. Once I do my year end video to show off my competed kits I might hang some! Thank you for watching ♥️
There’s an evil delivery man that takes the packages and rubs them up and down on his nylon pants, thereby increasing the static inside the package. Muahahaha .😅
I KNEW IT!!! 😂♥️
@ 🫨😂
Ashley save your eyes only kit up one bag of each.
All stickers from DMC kits fit all info symbol
DMC # & number sequence.
I’m just nervous about the extra bags with drills getting lost or falling out of the mesh part since it doesn’t have a closure. Maybe I can get a pencil case to store the rest….🤔
@messygirlcrafts I keep extras in zip bag with copy of painting &. Color graph. In drawer of diamond painting dresser next to drafting table
Wish I could send you a picture but don't know how. That 72 yr old syndrome 😁
@@michelelockport4382 it’s ok!! 😂♥️ I can visualize it for sure
Are you going to take part in the Merry Morales Event that starts December 1st?
Probably not unless my membership folks vote on me doing a Margret Morales kit after Christmas Kitty! I’m open to it though if the stars align ✨
I'm on the fence re square vs round containers
So far the rounds are working well since this kit didn’t come with individual cut stickers. I think I the square containers work better if you do get individual labels. I eventually want to try Elizabeth Ward containers too. A comparison will be fun!
Please make that video because I get all of mine off Amazon
You’re not alone! I will definitely start working on it! ♥️💖
Static happens because of science lol. I don't think it matters what colors. But it does have to do with environment & because you are putting plastic in/on plastic. The electrons have no where to go in a baggie.
I will say, I had less problems transferring the drills from the baggies to the containers than I did transferring the drills from those heat sealed pouches that DAC uses…🤔🤔🤔
I feel that someone charged me 260$ plus shipping tax ect for button eye I put off my light bill because I begged for them to go down a bit they refused that was the very last time I got a destash and prob will never again due to the ridiculous pricing of some folks
Oh that sucks, I’m so sorry! 😞 It’s wild out there. Exchanging money and goods with a stranger is always spooky for me. I don’t even buy off Facebook market place because I get too nervous! 😂♥️
@@messygirlcrafts oh believe me I did it once and never ever again that kit had a lot of sentimental value for me and it’s soooo hard to find as it’s the first of 3 ever mystery dac kits so to see it in opened blew my mind and I had like three other folks actually lie and say I can buy it and just stop replying so I just was done with it lol and jumped hoping it was real and it was just really expensive lol
Budget kits please

Me again: I love Disney but I feel like the choices have been meh. I also don’t think it’s something I really want to Diamond paint. I liked the Harry Potter stuff. I would love something outlander themed. Or Broadway Playbills!!! I’d be dead.
BROADWAY!!!! I would scream! 😍♥️
